Cathy and Holly's Birthdays

Today is a big day in my youngest daughter's life. Not only is it Cathy's 18th birthday but, by a fabulous coincidence, it's her horse Holly's birthday too. Holly is a year younger though, but they are both beautiful and very clever. Unfortunately, it's also the first day of Cathy's A2 exams ~ Good Luck Cathy ~ so the boozy celebrations have been put on hold for now.

I created a wrap for Cathy's card by cutting out the number 18 from Adorable Scorable card and decorating it with a Whimsy corner die, some flowers and gems.

I used a paper and a champagne glass image from an MCS CD. The digi image is one of my favourites, Emma, from Simply Betty. I wanted to keep the colours of the card vintage and after having watched Sarah Hurley's sepia demo, I thought the colouring would suit this image perfectly.

I made a card for Cathy to give to Holly using the Jem's Designs CD Free Spirits. I added glitter to the image, some lace and punched horseshoes.

As you can see, the image on the card isn't a bad match to Holly herself, apart from her white blaze.

Happy 18th birthday Cathy and happy 17th birthday Holly! Two great cards Andree! Your younger daughter does look like you! Holly is a beautiful horse. Hope you all have a great day and good luck with the exams Cathy. xxx

Your daughters are beautiful, Andree, as are your gorgeous cards! Time goes by far too quickly doesn't it? Sending birthday wishes to Cathy and the very adorable Holly - and good luck in the exams Cathy!Hugs, Tracey x
